WHAT LIES BEYOND THE SEA? What is a life filled with immense loss and pain? A life watching the world wither away as the ALZ-113 virus consumes humanity? For some, it is an existence of boiling rage that breeds contempt, cruelty and violence. It breeds the Exercitus Viri. As Juliana and Omatete set sail to transfer a thousand apes from the International Simian Research Center in Ghana to the CDC, trouble brews in the seas. Will they be able to make their voyage unscathed and save humanity? Or will the blood-thirsty vengeance of a select few ruin the world's chance of a cure and with it, survival?

This is the best possible way to move Apes to the comics medium and still have a story worth telling. Read Full Review
Readers, there was nothing to Planet of the Apes #3. So much so, that it's entirely skippable. Someone could summarize this entire comic into a sentence or two. Read Full Review
Planet of the Apes #3 reads like a setup/breather issue with a collection of partial scenes, flashbacks, and a backup that don't appear to have any meaningful connection to the main story and only serve to provide context and background information. Yet again, the apes are given the least amount of page space in a Planet of the Apes comic, which is a bizarre choice. Read Full Review
This series does a good job of keeping the similar tone and environment to the movies its based around.
Theres not a whole lot of time to breathe, however and the inclusion of two stories in each issue makes it even harder to flesh out the narrative.
That being said the backup is pretty interesting; but I'd rather the issues be oversized and include a fuller main story than cutting away from the main story.
